Previously all of the email accounts created in thunderbird worked flawlessly, one day when checking email automatically a seperate window opened displaying the error "Access Denied", I searched the net for a solution and could not find one, it is very possible that one of the most recent linux updates may have changed something as I recall a larger than normal update just before this occurred a few days ago.

Thank you.

Thunderbird would not be accessing a HTTP address to connect to the mail server. It will access the server named in the account settings.

Hello Matt,

Thanks for your reply, thunderbird is accessing several email accounts and this error is only occurring for one of the email accounts, all others work fine. I've tried deleting and re-adding, it doesn't matter, the access denied error shown in the attached screen shot above is what appears when trying to access that server.

Thanks

Then perhaps post the account settings used in Thunderbird for that account.
